Episode 10: Ep. 9 - She Thinks I Still Care (SUMMER RERUN of a 2014 episode of Where's That Sound Coming From) 1:39:25

1M ago1:39:25

1:39:25

Overcome with the need to keep my audience engaged I realized that there are a few episodes of my old podcast that I could re-post, which deal with songs that most Nezheads should know well. Without bias, I still say that the Second National Band version is the best version of this heartbreaking song. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't check out a…

Episode 9: Ep. 8 - You Told Me 42:20

2M ago42:20

42:20

I decided to sneak one more in before my summer break! It's short, like the episodes were supposed to be when I started this series.....What a perfect little power folk pop song this is, and the first song on the legendary Headquarters album (Nez thought up that title, ya know). The four Monkees, plus Chip Douglas, jangleburst their way through the…

Episode 8: Ep. 7 - The Girl I Knew Somewhere 2:07:51

3M ago2:07:51

2:07:51

A song described as “A Breezy Little Pop Tune” by its author, Michael Nesmith, “The Girl I Knew Somewhere” was too poppy for Jon Herald, too sloppy for Don Kirshner, but just exactly perfect to be the world’s first taste of The Monkees performing as a real band when it was released on March 8, 1967, as the B-side to “A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit Y…

Episode 7: Ep. 6 - Mary, Mary 1:26:42

4M ago1:26:42

1:26:42

Where is Mary going to? Is she safe from the persistent creepo who won't leave her alone? Is this the same Mary as in "Walkin' the Dog"? Was Michael Blessing much more of a manufactured image than Monkee Mike? Is Bloomfield's guitar solo the best part of the Butterfield version? Why isn't Micky ready? How great of a live band were The Monkees on th…

Episode 6: Ep. 5 - Sweet Young Thing(ah) 1:08:21

5M ago1:08:21

1:08:21

Q: What happens when the most stubbornly independent Monkee is forced by a man he dislikes to do something he dislikes, such as co-write a song with strangers who happen to be one of the most successful songwriting teams of the century? A: We get a great song with a lot of versions to hear and discuss. What we don't get is a lot of facts, so this e…

Episode 5: Ep. 4 - Papa Gene's Blues 1:36:10

6M ago1:36:10

1:36:10

"Papa Gene's Blues" is one of Michael Nesmith's most endearing and enduring songs. I didn't set out to make this a 90 minute episode, but it's an important song with a lot of history; plus I had two guests and they were both full of so much insight. Firstly there's Lynda Wiles of Cornwall (UK), a Nezhead since the BBC debuted the Monkees television…

Episode 4: Ep. 3 - All The King's Horses 51:14

7M ago51:14

51:14

"All The King's Horses" seems like a song that Mike Nesmith would've written specifically for a Season One Monkees TV show romp (and indeed it was used as such), but in fact, he wrote and recorded it during the Mike and John and Bill period. It also seems like an instant bubblegum pop classic that Don Kirshner would have wanted to include on either…

Episode 3: Ep. 2 - Propinquity 57:05

7M ago57:05

57:05

Use two four-syllable words that each contain a "q" in a sentence. Oh, that's easy. Ready? Michael Nesmith's composition "Propinquity" is one of the most ubiquitous in his catalog. How ubiquitous? There are three studio versions, five live versions and many cover versions. I don't cover them all in this episode but I do my best to play and discuss …

Episode 2: Ep. 1 - How Can You Kiss Me? 34:06

7M ago34:06

34:06

Happy 2024 and welcome to the first episode of Questions But No Answers. Before he auditioned for, and got the part on The Monkees television series, thus altering the course of his music career and indeed his life, Michael Nesmith was an ambitious, industrious and prolific new singer-songwriter trying to make a name for himself, first as a folkie …

But instead of continuing to stack onto your plate, let’s work to eliminate, prior…
